Be it known that It, JOHN B. ft/llisninirz'e, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Bellevillc, in the county of: St. Clair, State of Illinois, have invented. certain new anal. useful Improvements inv Receptacles; and I do hereby declare the following to he a. full, clear, and exact- (lcseription of the invention, such Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertei'ns toina c and. use the same.

This invention relates to new end useful improvements in receptacles, and paw ticulzirly to receptacles for containing WOOCl and coal, although the device is adapted for use in connection with granular materials,

or liquids.

Gnc object of the invention is to provide a receptacle of this character which is simple in construction, and which can he formed from a single metal blank.

.[tnother object is to provide a. hostile for the receptacle which is simple in con-- struction, and which can be easily 21ml simply pivoted on the sides of the receptacle.

Another object is to provide a. receptacle which is adapted to he used. as a scoop, the discharging or scooping end of which is formed to prevent too rapid flow oi mete Eel therefrom.

ther objects and advantages will he apparent from. the "following description when taken in connection with the accompanying rlrewin in. the drawing:

Fiqure l is it perspective view cl ceptecle mecle in accordance with the exit invention.

Figure 2 is i plan 'VlGW of the blank from. which. the hotly of the receptacle is formed.

Figure 3 is a plan View of the blank troin which the handle is formed.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, and particularly to Figure l, the receptacle comprises a, body having the bottom 16. the parallel sides ll, the rear enrl Well 12, the scoop portion 13, at the other end of the bmly, entl the hanclle 1%, which is pivetelly connected to the sides 11.

As clearly seen in the plan View 0 the blank, the portion '10represents the body of the blank, forms the bottom 10, in the finished recep. a, while the portion '12 forms the reel with oi the receptacle, anti it repres- 15 the bottom Well of the scoop portion marl August 1?, 19535. Serial l fe.

of the handle is thereby limited.

are bent inwzirclly, es shown at 18. in Figure 1, whereby to prevent spilling of the meteriel of the receptacle when such material is being; poured therefrom. it suitable handle 19 is secured to the outer face of the rear end. Wltli 12 of the receptacle, to 9.5- sist in ti ting the receptacle.

olzietl over the upper edge portions of the Wells 11., intermediate the ends thereof, are the metal letcs 20 saicl lates i 2 9 being properly riveted to the sides and beiiig epertnrerl together with the seicl sicles for receiving the pivots 21, of the handle 14:. This henclle is formed. "from at single length of metal, seen in Figure 3, the opposite cools being longitudinally slitterl, zit 2&3, to provide the lingers 23. The pairs of fingers 23 ere iiisposeri in stretlrlling relction to the reinforcing plates 20, cool receiving therethrough the pivots 21, whereby said henclle is properly ettechecl to the receptacle. to permit swinging movemerit thereto, While being cerriecl'ancl tilted,

as when lumping; the contents. Furthermore, the stroclclling hifurcetiensot the hcnrilc'serve to prevent the handle felling forwardly or reerworcliy, to any erect clis-' tence with the result that seicl ienclle is elweys in position to he cesily grasped. The "lure: tions have a. Wedging action on the plates 20, so that the pivotal movement The trons- VQIL'SB hig' it portion of the handle 14; has

its eclges cnrlecl upwerclly to provide it roiinclel hand grip.

It will he meter; that thebottom of the receptacle, anal the bottom of the scoop portion. are continuous, snail taper from the end 211i: 12, to the outer cool oi? seldo scoop portion, whereby to more properly permit materiel to enter the receptacle, when use l its scoop, zmtl to better discharge the contents thereflere.

.is this proviclerl 2. simple,' yet 3w Q amas? strongend durable receptacle for the purpose described,.and one which can be manufactured at a comparatively low cost.

Secured to the lower face of the bottom 10 are the transversely extendin angle plates, 24, 'the vertical ortions 0? which form supports to elevate t 1e receptacle above the floor.

As clearly seen in Figure l the rear edge portions of the sides or wings 17 overlap the forward edge portions of the side walls 11.,and are riveted thereto.

What is claimed is:

A receptacle including vertical side walls, channel members secured in straddling relation to the upper edge portions of said walls, and a yoke shaped handle having its ends bifurcated and said bifurcations being disposed in straddling relation to said channel members and twisted whereby to aline their terminals with respect to a line transversely of the receptacle, and pivot members disposed through the walls, the channel members, and the furcations, whereby said bifurcations will have wedging action with the channel members to prevent the handle falling to any great distance in either direction.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signa: ture.
